A dog can remember smells for years. Dogs live in the now. They will remember experiences like if the dog was beaten with a newspaper and you raise a newspaper to hit him with it, the dog will react to it. Mostly a dog will react to smells.

A famous test, whereby dogs would be given food when a bell was wrung, proved that dogs could remember that they would be fed when a bell was wrung for months after the test was stopped. So, presuming the dog has remembered it in the first place, it could be months or even years.

Yes, especially their owners, present and former, as well as many other dogs, with an emphasis on the female ones, assuming that they are male.
